LONDON, Oct. 19.-Mr. Chamberlain's
speeches during his recent tour of u
ster have acted very much as the boom
erang is supposed to work, except that
instead of returning to the experienced
thrOwer's hand as in case of the pecul-
lar Australian weapon, Mr.. Chamber
lain's projectile has dealt him a blow in
the face. The violent and unprovoked
TRADES of the Birmingham political
wriggler have raised the question of his
chief of the fisheries commission, and
in the wide discussion which the maker
is receiving the weight of argument is
decidedly against him. The Liberals
unheSitatingly assert that his speeches
can be construed in no other way than
as deliberate and
GRATUITOUS INSULT
to large section of American people,
and declare that it would cause no sur
prise if his presence in the United
States as head of the British representa-
tiveS to effect a settlement of the VeXed
fisheries dispute would completely nul-
lify the negotiations already in progress
and yet to be entered into. Predictions
are freely made that he will meet with
a reception in American cities similar
to that of Mr. O'Brien in Canada, and
serious proposals are made to the end of
urging the government to rescind his
appointment on the ground that his
assumption of the active duties Cf his
position would be a guarantee of failure
of the mission and result in Straining
the relations between the two English
speaking governments.
THE PRINCIPAL MOTTO
of the Nottingham Liberal congress is
embodied in the resolution offered by
Rt. Hon. James Hanfield, member for
Halifax. and unanimously approved to-
day, demanding reform of the franchise
SO that one man shall cast one vote only
and the perniciOus practice of ''faggot"
voting be prevented. A strong fight
will be made in parliament on this prin-
ciple, and great reliance is placed upon
the favorable acceptance of it by the
electors to carry Liberal government
into power at the next general election.
if the change should not take place
sooner.
~. ~ THE LONDON RIOT.
TO-day's efforts of the trampS, thieves
and -malcontents in Trafalgar square
were as futile as the previous attempts
of the mob to precipitate great riot,
and more than ever showed the weak
ness of the disorderly element. They
showed no signs of organization any
where whatsoever, and though they are
abundantly supplied with orators, they
proved conclusively that they have no
leaders, and are therefore impotent to
accomplish their ends. At the first
charge of the police the crowd, with
no one to rally them and lead
them together, fled in all directions.
The police did not use their batons, but
employed their fists with great CELEBRITY
and precision and remarkably good
effect. Had determined man been at
the head of the mob the result might
have been different, but the police are,
as it is, master of the situation, and the
rioters are beginning to realize that
such is the case.
NOTES FROM ABROAD.
1t is understood that the cabinet will
at its first council discuss the question
of the prevailing distress among the
working classes and decide upon some
measures for their relief.
